COCA-COLA

🥤Coke's new mystery flavor created with AI

The Rundown: Coca-Cola released a new limited-edition mystery drink called Y3000, using AI to help determine the undisclosed flavor profile and futuristic packaging.

The details:

• Y3000 taps into Coke's Creations platform of limited flavored drinks aimed at younger consumers.

• To create Y3000's flavor, Coke gathered human insights on tastes associated with ‘the future’ and then used AI to generate flavor combinations.

• The can design was also AI-generated — with the company feeding AI mood board images based on the futuristic theme.

The relevance: Will AI-generated flavors become the new frontier of soda innovation? Probably not. But it’s a clever play by Coke to capitalize on the buzzy AI hype for its latest concoction. Try it out, and let us know how it tastes!

AI SAFETY

🤝 15 major companies sign White House AI pledge

The Rundown: Nvidia, IBM, Palantir, and twelve other major tech companies signed on to the White House's voluntary AI commitment this week — joining Meta, Microsoft, and others in a pledge to develop AI safely and mitigate risks.

Key points:

• The pledge includes vows to properly label AI content, assess risks, and share safety data.

• The expansion shows the White House's growing focus on guiding AI and pressures Google, Amazon, and Apple to get on board.

• The White House’s current view, according to Jeff Zients: “The President has been clear: harness the benefits of AI, manage the risks, and move fast — very fast”.

Our take: The tech giants are playing friendly with Washington (for now) with these voluntary pledges. But history shows that the government often lags behind tech innovation — will these vows be enough to constrain AI's unpredictable evolution?
